It's true he leans heavily on an encyclopedic knowledge of colourful rhythms drawn from across the globe: his homeland's rumbas and flamenco; Latin American Salsas, Tangos and Bossa Novas; African Highlife and Mali Blues; Calypso and Soca. But these joyful tempos are often undercut by wistful melodies or recognitions of life's grimmer elements. 'I like the idea,' he says, 'of sad lyrics with happy music. It balances things out'.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eVarillas' previous album received critical acclaim from BBC 6 Music, Clash, Indie Shuffle, Mojo, Uncut and Classic Pop to name a few. Varillas strong support from Apple Music built up a solid 26k streams and top 10 chart positions in the UK, France \u0026amp; Germany and Spotify adds to editorial playlists have helped Varillas amass a very respectable 4.6million streams, reaching audiences as far as Mexico with his tropical grooves.\u003cp\u003eLonely Heart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLosing You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFever, Fever\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne People\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore The Sun Goes Down\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCamino Al Amor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Truth Will Be Heard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDreaming Of Better Days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Heals With Time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne And Only\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough The Hourglass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFin De Males\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLights Down Low\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLonely Heart (Reprise)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55142421922177,"sku":"836780","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61s_YmjXpGL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767616911","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/836780","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
